ANDREW SCHULZ (HOST): So now Apple doesn't have the tariffs, and it's just like -- but to me, that's frustrating because Apple is the one that should be paying more than anybody. They're the one that parks their money overseas. They're the one that's skirting on taxes. The mom and pop businesses that are fucked by the tariffs are still gonna have to pay.

So now you're disproportionately punishing the people that are actually doing the right thing for the country in the first place. 

PETE BUTTIGIEG (FMR. U.S. SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION): Yeah. Cause--

SCHULZ: They're building their small businesses. They're paying into the system.
